Yesterday walked my granddaughter in a stroller to a nearby park, let her enjoy the swings, slides and some kind of big climbing thing with plastic tubes. Was nice to be warm enough to be out a while without a hat and gloves. Something about making your kid laugh and smile makes you feel good, even when you're not really having fun yourself. I also noticed the streets had a lot of sand (the beach kind), don't notice that so much in a car, and little pockets of packed salt. Not bike ready yet.



Old pair of Grandpa's socks out of his rag box kept the little toes warm. Gotta werk with what ya got when daughter forgets the shoes or boots.



Neighbor parks and playgrounds are all over the place here, from little ones like this to huge where 100 kids wouldn't crowd them. Lot of them are old, my daughter played in them 30 years ago, but they'll are kept in good condition.

Does make it easier to get apart, replace, troubleshoot. I hate modern wire harnesses that have everything all tied together and wrapped solid. I'm planning on breaking up the wiring on my Tour Glide to smaller harnesses that can be easily disconnected when I get it back together. More expensive for connectors, easier to work on.

I'm doing a bed swap. We have to get rid of a truck so we are keeping the 4 door.

Going to re do the wiring while it's off. This is not my work. Very sloppy.

Yep, working on my enclosed and truck. Pulling the trailer, the dash would say "Trailer disconnect, check wiring". Look in the mirror and the lights are still on. So far, changed the plug on the trailer, changing the 7 wire cable to the junction box tomorrow and checking the trailer brakes to see if theres a short somewhere. Also sending the truck to dodge to get it looked at. Maybe its the Integrated Towing Module. Hoping it is before I dig in the brakes.

Hey, Tim!

That doesn't sound like fun. I hate electrical problems.
